Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 522;

Chapter 520: Forbidden land
Li Yu was filled with emotions when he heard the eighth elder's simple words, he would not get a salary if he was not in his position, this head of the Lin family is really pure, Li Yu suddenly remembered something and asked casually;

"I know that Liu Daguan brought those government soldiers into your Lin family's household registration. Is he your elder now?"

"Going home, yes, my elder brother said that both Liu Wanquan and Lin Wulang are the current chief stewards and are qualified to be elders, so they are the last two elders of our Lin family."

Li Yu nodded and was about to speak, but when he saw the third child ordering a few people to dig a hole, he couldn't help asking curiously;
"Sanwazi, don't you want to kill the sheep? Why are you digging holes instead of killing the sheep?"

Sanwazi came over to answer when the patriarch asked a question and put the sheep-killing knife aside;
"Patriarch Hui, you don't know, if the blood of this sheep is not handled well, there will be piles of flies flying around, it is really disgusting, so you have to dig a hole and bury the flies, otherwise there will be fewer flies in the sky. It's all humming, which is annoying."

Li Yu couldn't help being surprised;
"What? Do you want to throw away the sheep's blood?"

"Ah! That's right, patriarch, even the Turkic people on the grassland are like this!"

Seeing everyone staring at the ignorant patriarch, Li Yu couldn't bear it any longer;
"Go and ask someone to bring some ceramic basins, and I'll catch all the sheep's blood. Pay attention to clean vegetable washing basins, don't get dirty ones like that."

Although Sanwazi was very surprised, he still carried out the order and arranged for the brothers to borrow four or five ceramic pots from the nearest house. When the tribe heard that the patriarch was going to collect the blood of sheep, they were all curious, and surrounded by many Lin surnames. The family members, as well as people with other surnames nearby, all came to see what new things this clever patriarch would come up with.

Li Yu turned around the young men at the scene;

"Go quickly and bring over some fresh water. Drinkable water is clean. Go and get some salt. Hurry up and don't delay."

"Oh, good patriarch."

"It's the head of the house."

When everything was ready, Li Yu did a demonstration by himself. He kept one third of the water in a basin to a little less than half, then put salt in it and stirred evenly. In this way, four basins were prepared and ready.

Li Yu directed a few young men to point the basin at the neck of the sheep, so it was not a waste, and then agreed with Sanwazi to cut a big hole in the neck of the sheep, and the bright red blood of the sheep flowed down the opening in a short time. A pot, and quickly replaced the person next to him.

Sanwazi saw that the sheep in his hand was running out of blood, so he hugged the sheep's neck and raised his head;

"The patriarch is gone, and there are only three basins of blood. Usually, there is no excess in this amount."

"Yes, I see, you guys continue to share the mutton, who is the closest here? The patriarch wants to make another delicacy, and find the nearest kitchen for use."

Several young people were so excited that they rushed to say that their home was the closest, and San Wazi roared;
"Old Thirteen! You have to speak with conscience. Is your house as close as mine? These pots are taken from my house, and it's only a dozen steps away. Who is closer to mine?"

Sanwazi pointed to the nearest small courtyard, his face flushed and spitting, while the Eighth Elder next to him smiled and looked at a group of grandchildren, all of whom had the loving expressions of elders. Li Yu looked at the direction of Sanwazi's finger. It's the closest house to here.

"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore, just go to that house, whose house is the eighth elder, let's borrow a kitchen for use."

"It's the patriarch, if you go back to the patriarch, it's the home of my fifth son."

With a big wave of Li Yu's hand, he led the maid guards to go first, and the eight chiefs followed happily. It was a great honor for the patriarch to go to his home.

Sanwazi triumphantly threw down the knife and pinched his waist to give orders;
"Lin Jun, come and divide the mutton. You guys will go back with me with the blood of the mutton. Hurry up and don't waste your time. Hurry up and don't mess with it! Whoever dares to mess with it, I will kick him." butt."

"San Wazi, why did you let me stay here again instead of going to watch the fun? It's not fair!"

Sanwazi turned her head coquettishly;
"Why? Because you are the youngest, I am your elder brother, so I have the final say, hurry up and leave the patriarch without a trace..."

Lin Jun puffed his cheeks angrily, and picked up the knife as a punching bag for the dead sheep.

Li Yu happily came to the yard of the Eighth Elder's son, and on the way, the Eighth Elder's wife happily ran home first to prepare.

A large group of people entered the courtyard, the fifth son of the Eighth Elder and his wife were all grinning from ear to ear;

"Meet Patriarch Patriarch Wanfu Jin'an."

"The concubine sees the Patriarch. The Patriarch is blessed."

"Everything is fine, no courtesy, no courtesy, Mrs. Lin, do you have leeks or garlic sprouts in your house? I want to make another delicious dish."

"Some and some patriarchs, they just got back from the vegetable field in the morning and they have both."

The husband and wife made a promise while bowing to their family Aye;
"My son sees Aye. Aye Fuan."

"Meet Aye. Aye Fuan."

"No courtesy, go prepare something for the patriarch, wash some leeks and garlic sprouts, get more."

"It's Aye."

Li Yu ordered Sanwazi to follow;
"Go get a spoon and stir the sheep's blood with clear water evenly. Hurry up or it will condense into lumps in a while."

"Very well, the villain will go right away."

Sanwazi quickly ran into the kitchen, took out a spoon and a pair of chopsticks, distributed them to the two clan brothers, and carefully stirred them in the sheep's blood. "

"The patriarch seems to be about to agglomerate?"

"Oh? Then stop and don't move. It will be almost ready after a stick of incense. You go ask your mother to boil a pot of hot water. When the water is about to boil, it should be almost here."

"Hey! Let's go."

The Eighth Elder instructed several grandsons to move Li Yu's Taishi chair to sit in the yard to bask in the sun. Li Yu also asked someone to carry a handful out for the Eighth Elder. The two sat down and talked one after another. After a while, Sanwazi, who was guarding the sheep's blood, came to report;
"Report to the patriarch, the blood of the sheep is clumped, please check it with the patriarch."

Li Yu stood up and walked over quickly, giving orders on the way;

"Bring a small knife and cut it into small pieces, which are easy to cook, but the ones that are too big are not easy to cook."

"only!"

Sanwazi quickly ran to the kitchen and took out a small knife, held the tip of the knife and handed it over. Li Yu picked up the knife and divided the three pots of goat blood four or five times vertically, and then put the basin Shake it back and forth a few times, and the blood clots of the sheep come alive from the basin, just as Sanwazi's ah comes out;
"Patriarch, the water is boiling, you can tell the concubine what to do."

"Put these sheep's blood in hot water, boil it for half a stick of incense, and it will be out of the pot. If the pot can't fit, cook it several times, but the clean water should be replaced with new clean water every time. Wash the pot clean, so the food coming out will be clean, and you won’t feel sick when you eat it, otherwise it will smell fishy.”

"It's the patriarch, please let it go. The concubine will ensure that there is clean water every time. Sanwazi and your two elder brothers will go fetch two buckets of clean water and bring them here."

"Okay, mother, let's go now."

"It's Aunt."

"Hey, I got it, Mommy."

Li Yu turned around and went back to the yard to continue basking in the sun, turning his head to look at the eighth elder;
"In the future, I have a lot of things to deal with, and our clan will also have to adjust in many ways. Today is just a free time, and we two will also talk about family matters.

It is said that Guan Liu has also learned the art of war from my uncle of the Qin family for ten years. From the perspective of the eight elders, how is Guan Liu's skills in leading troops to fight, arranging troops, and dispatching troops?Who are the comparable characters in our Lin Family Forbidden Army? "

"Qi Patriarch, Liu Da Guan's ability is also obvious to all, it is the experience gained from fighting in the battle, and he was instructed by General Qin, Liu Da Guan Shi is also open-minded and eager to learn, there is no doubt that he is not empty-handed.

But it's not that I'm arrogant and want to be firmly in the top ten among our clansmen?That's not easy. According to the old man's guess, I'm afraid it will be ranked outside the fifteenth place in our Lin family's surname. "

Li Yu was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking immediately;

"What? His ability can only be ranked after the fifteenth place in our clan? Eighth Elder, you have to put your words in a fair position, and you can't bias this or that because of your status."

The Eighth Elder's already serious expression became more serious, and he explained in a leisurely manner;
"Patriarch, Liu Da is very good at managing affairs, but our Lin family didn't grow up a vegetarian. Our Lin family's surname followed the patriarchs of the second family. Except for our third-generation patriarch of Lantian who is a civil official, the other patriarchs of all generations are military generals. Born, he has been a great general guarding one side in all dynasties, and he wants to show off after only ten years of study? Don't even think about it!
Patriarch, think about it, the ancestor of our Li family in the Qin Dynasty was a great general king, a god who rarely failed to guard a side in the fiefdom of Longxi!

Of course, the retreat that was beaten by Xiang Yan is not counted. The road in that battle was rough and difficult, the food and grass could not keep up, and there were two partial generals who refused to obey the orders of the general. The ancestors knew that they were incapable of fighting. Xingming chose to retreat, and it was clearly written in the family affairs, so the battle against Chu was regarded as a return without success.

But it was different when Mieyan collected Qi. All our own clansmen went out to fight, and the king of Qin had enough food and grass, so the prince Dan collapsed and fled, and the state of Qi also collapsed. The Chehou~Wuchenghou General Wang Jian also appreciated it very much.

It can be seen from this that the art of war handed down by our Li family is quite powerful. Even after more than 900 years, it is still ahead of many families. There are many methods that have always been kept secret. In our clan, it can only be regarded as an upper-middle posture, want to be top-notch?It's not his turn yet! "

The eighth elder of the Lin family is not bragging. The three ancestors of the Lin family have fought with the general of the Qin Dynasty, Li Xin, for half their lives.

I have learned real kung fu from the general for most of my life, and all of them are masters who can dispatch troops and dispatch generals. They are not people who are not famous. Even if Liu Wanquan has studied hard with Qin Qiong for ten years, how can he compare with the Lin family? Learn the power of more than 900 years?

The Lin family fought with the Li family. In the five to six hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Lin family has produced influential figures from generation to generation, and the Li family has also been a great general who has led the army for generations. Battlebook, it has its own advantages and characteristics.
Among the Li clan in Longxi, the Erfang inherits the most war books, and the Lin family is the Li clan's imperial army who can learn openly, so it is not comparable to someone who has studied for ten years, so the eight elders mentioned the formation of troops. Capable, very confident and proudly raised his head.

Li Yu was dumbfounded when he heard that, what a guy!Liu Wanquan was also one of the four generals under Qin Qiong. Although he didn't have the ability to guard one side, he was quite powerful in fighting. Can't rank among the top fifteen?

Li Yu stood up and walked back and forth, thinking for a long time before asking again;

"Then after he entered your Lin family's household registration, is he convinced?"

"He was very convinced by what the patriarch said. When he came to our Lin family to report on the first day, he was really not convinced. He just thought that he was killed in the battle. Our Lin family has been following the patriarch's ass. Later, I have never been an official, so I am inevitably a little proud.

My eldest brother didn't say a word, and the dozen or so important elders in our Lin family didn't speak. Only a few of my son's generation came out to deduce a few games with him, which made him sweat profusely.

A brother of my clan finally stood up to discuss with him the method of forming an army, and within an hour he was dumbfounded and speechless, he was so convinced.

Later, the eldest brother announced that since he entered the household registration of the Lin family, he was a member of the Lin family, and he was allowed to go to the courtyard of the Lin family study to study the war books left by his ancestors. Although they were all manuscripts, they were all meticulous and did not miss Every word is exactly the same as those battle books in the patriarch's study.

Manager Liu stared dumbfounded after he entered. From that day on, he read the book every day. He also knew that his skills were worth fighting for, but he had to take on the heavy responsibility alone, ha ha!He is not qualified at all. "

"What? Our Li family still has a military book that has been handed down for thousands of years? Why didn't I know? There is no study in the mansion! What's going on?"

The Eighth Elder stood up to comfort Li Yu;
"Don't panic, patriarch, don't panic, patriarch, our Li's second room's war book is stored separately, not in your study, patriarch, but in the small courtyard behind your study."

Li Yu asked thoughtfully;

"You mean the deserted little courtyard behind the study? Just the courtyard of the three main rooms and two wing rooms?"

The Eighth Elder nodded with certainty;

"Patriarch Hui, it is that yard. When I was young, when the three generations of patriarchs called me to dry books, I was very small, and I went in to work twice. All the military books were stored in that small yard. Yes, all the military books of our Lin family are copied from the book of the patriarch, and the real bamboo slips are all kept in the mansion."

"That's how it is. Let me tell you, how come we are such a big second wife of the Li family, and our ancestors were born as great generals. Why is there not a single military book in the study room? It turns out that it's not that there are no books, but they are stored separately. Anyone in the mansion goes in But, why didn't anyone tell me?"

The Eighth Elder looked serious again, explaining the reason carefully;

"To the patriarch, it is a forbidden place in the forbidden area. No one dares to break into it without the patriarch's warrant. Otherwise, it will be a capital offense and no one can intercede. The old rules of our second room are that there is no patriarch's warrant or permission to enter to serve the cleaning, regardless of Men and women, no matter whose family members dared to break into the patriarch's study without authorization, they were beaten to death on the spot.

Not to mention the military academy courtyard at the back, it is your study in the front, isn't it also the same rule?They are all the same, the study room at the front has the same rules as the small courtyard at the back. "

Li Yu knew this. The study in Li Yu's backyard was like this. Only with the patriarch's warrant could he enter the study. Without the patriarch's permission?Whoever enters dies!

"That's right, you can't break into the study of the patriarch without my permission. Anyone who trespasses without my permission will die. This is the rule no matter which family or surname is, and no one can be made an exception."

The Eighth Elder nodded in affirmation;
"That's necessary, not to mention your patriarch's military books, it is the one copied by our Lin family, and it has also been designated as a forbidden book by successive patriarchs.

It's not that the descendants of the Lin family can't get close, even if our own descendants with the Lin surname grow up, they each have their own aye to teach first, and choose the top ones to get through, and then report to their elders!
After careful consideration, these elders selected the number of people to report to the head of the family, and the head of the family made the final decision. Finally, after all the procedures were completed, they could get the warrant of the head of the family to pass the customs and enter our Lin family's forbidden area to learn the martial arts handed down from the ancestors. It is also an old rule decided by the patriarchs of the past.

You see, there are quite a few males in the Ma family, and they are still the right arm of the patriarch, but they can only learn the art of war from the hands of our Lin family, so he cannot enter the study yard of our Lin family.

The patriarchs of past dynasties did not allow people from the clan other than the Lin family to learn secretly. The only way to learn everything in this area is to have a good relationship with a certain descendant of the Lin family, and then the descendants of the Lin family will teach them by word of mouth. There is no other way. way. "
